Jam-Master Jammin’ Songtext
von Run‐D.M.C.

Couldn′t wait to see, Jam Master jammin'
Couldn′t wait to see, the Master jam
Couldn't wait to see, Jam Master jammin'
Couldn′t wait to see, the Master jam

He′s a one-man band in his own right
Jam Master jams to the broad daylight
No instruments needed just two record players
A stage, a crowd and two rhyme sayers

Ingredients are here, so have no fear
Definitely defy the position is clear
You couldn't be late, hesitate to debate
Jam Master is here and you could not wait

Couldn′t wait to see, Jam Master jammin'
Couldn′t wait to see, the Master jam
Couldn't wait to see, Jam Master jammin′
Couldn't wait to see, the Master jam


Now he's the Jam Master and we′re the Emcee′s
Like lightnin' and thunder, we′re knockin' down trees
While sucker D.J.′s are bustin' out Z′s
My man Jam Master's stretchin' hard ′cross seas

So why don′t you listen? Or you'll be missin′
The cuts and the scratchin' bass, treble and the mixin′
The force and the power comin' hour after hour
So get up off the walls, don′t you be a wallflower

Couldn't wait to see, Jam Master jammin'
Couldn′t wait to see, the Master jam
Couldn′t wait to see, Jam Master jammin'
Couldn′t wait to see, the Master jam

The alert is read, this is what we said
The meaning of master means, he's ahead
The meaning of jam is [Incomprehensible]
The records that he plays when the crowd′s up on it
And when he comes on, the crowd goes off
It's all hard rock, there′s nothing soft

Couldn't wait to see, Jam Master jammin'
Couldn′t wait to see, the Master jam
Couldn′t wait to see, Jam Master jammin'
Couldn′t wait to see, Jam Master jam


He adds a little soul to rock 'n′ roll
Every record that he touches, turns to gold
He's well conducted, self-instructed
His style′s worthwhile, Heavenly constructed

Mechanically inclined, and if you don't mind
He adds spice to your life time after time
I think it's ′bout time, to heed the long lecture
We rock our rhymes for the Jam Master

Couldn′t wait to see, Jam Master jammin'
Couldn′t wait to see, the Master jam
Couldn't wait to see, Jam Master jammin′
Couldn't wait to see, the Master jam

Couldn′t wait to see, Jam Master jammin'
Couldn't wait to see, the Master jam
Couldn′t wait to see, Jam Master jammin′
Couldn't wait to see, the Master jam

His name Jam Master, call him Jay
The crowd goes wild when he starts to play
Everything is correct and A.O.K.
Jam Master′s on the move but his sounds will stay

Couldn't wait to see, Jam Master jammin′
Couldn't wait to see, Jam Master jam

From end to start, start to end
Not only does he scratch but he′s our friend
We could not wait, to let you see
The things that he does for D and me

Couldn't wait to see, Jam Master jammin'
Couldn′t wait to see, the Master jam
Couldn′t wait to see, Jam Master jammin'
Couldn′t wait to see, the Master jam

Couldn't wait to see, Jam Master jammin′
Couldn't wait to see, the Master jam
